Chapter 43: Gym Time.
[Lion King Artoria does several more sets of sit-ups in front of you.]
[Watching the violent surging waves of that chest, your heart trembles intensely…]
[Your skill [My Love Is Eternal C] increases back to [My Love Is Eternal B]!]
"???"
No way, what the hell is going on here?!
The skill just went down—so why did it suddenly go back up immediately?!
Could it be that Artoria's overly mature and full body, far beyond standard, caused an enormous psychological shock to a young boy like you?
"Ah…"
A drop of cold sweat slides down from Eikou's forehead.
Then wouldn't that mean…
That he's about to return to that unsatisfied, craving state again?!
Marie and Jeanne — that pair of French best friends — had worked hard for several hours just to help him reduce My Love Is Eternal down to C.
And yet just from intimate contact with Artoria, in less than a few dozen minutes it had gone back up again?
This absolutely cannot be called an equal exchange!
[Perhaps it's because Artoria perfectly matches your preferences, which is why the skill increased so quickly.]
"But… I, I don't even like breasts and big sister types that much… Believe it... umu..."
[Do you yourself find that statement convincing after saying it out loud?]
[In short, you have sensed a powerful danger called [Super-cup Artoria]. Excessive physical contact is very likely to cause your old condition to relapse.]
[Because you haven't met for some time, Artoria has become extremely clingy and hopes you are always within her sight. As a result, you almost have no chance to retreat.]
[You decide to have her switch to a different exercise.]
[You take Artoria to run on the treadmill, then discover that her running posture is even more stimulating than sit-ups, and the amplitude of that chest's swaying becomes even greater.]
[Change to something else.]
[You then take her to push dumbbells, but for a Servant with relatively low Strength like her, it's quite strenuous. Before long, she is already breathing heavily. Looking at her flushed face and hearing her sweet, rapid breathing, your heart once again trembles intensely.]
[This won't do—change to something else again!]
[Artoria starts doing squats.]
[Watching her repeatedly squat down and stand back up, that beautiful, firm, round butt, along with body curves that nearly exceed standard, makes you drool just from looking.]
[Your skill [My Love Is Eternal B] increases to [My Love Is Eternal A]!]
Bang!
Eikou, with a nosebleed flowing, forcefully punches the wall.
This is bad—everything Artoria does is way too seductive!
Why did a perfectly normal Gym session turn into something like this?!
Artoria is completely unsuitable for the Gym… no, rather, it's because she's too suitable that she becomes unsuitable.
He feels the dark side in his heart frantically suggesting: damn it, can't hold back anymore—why not just drag this big "golden lion" straight to a Love Hotel already! That way there'd be no need to worry about My Love Is Eternal continuing to increase!
[...]
[In the end, the two decide to go ride the spinning bike.]
[Artoria Lancer is very good at Riding, so sitting on this kind of vehicle-like training equipment will probably attract her attention. That way, you also won't be clung to by her anymore.]
[And in the spinning bike area, you once again see a familiar purple figure.]
Only to see, on the seat of a spinning bike, a tall purple figure pedaling at an extremely fast speed.
So fast that Eikou can almost no longer see the movements clearly, only able to feel the fierce rush of wind.
Where did this Rider come from—this pedaling is way too intense.
Purple hair tied with a ribbon flies wildly.
"This is…"
Eikou can sense that there is also a solid mana link between him and her.
The purple-haired woman before him is wearing a simple, dynamic-style set of sportswear that fits tightly to her body, the outfit clinging firmly to her figure that is both beautiful and excessively full.
Every time she exerts force to pedal, her full body—no less than Artoria's—sways back and forth nonstop, accentuating feminine curves that make one's heart tremble.
Isn't this Medusa?
"Master, you are here as well?"
The purple-haired big sister also senses his presence through the mana link, stops her movement, then steps down from the spinning bike.
She has clearly been pedaling here for quite some time; her complexion is rosy, her breathing warm, and her originally cold face is now covered in alluring beads of sweat.
"It's been a long time, Master."
Medusa speaks very politely, her tone calm and composed.
"It's been a long time, Medusa,"
Eikou asks with concern,
"How has life in Chaldea been lately?"
[Previously, you used a Holy Grail as one of the conditions of exchange, requesting that Chaldea take care of the Servants who followed you out of the Singularity, so there is no need to worry about their food, daily life, or accommodation.]
[Therefore, Medusa and the others can also freely enjoy this wonderful modern city life.]
"Umu, I like the life here very much,"
Medusa lightly nods and reveals a faint smile.
"During the day, I can go to the library to read books. When it's hot, I can go swimming in the pool. Most importantly… my two sisters are also here. Although their teasing is a bit over the top, following you to Chaldea was indeed the right choice."
"Umu umu, that's good then."
Seeing the happiness on her face, Eikou seems to feel her joy as well.
[Medusa seems very satisfied with life here.]
[She appears to have little emotional fluctuation, but is actually someone very rich in emotions with a soft inner heart, just not good at expressing it outwardly. Being able to say things like this is already enough to prove that she has been living quite well during this period.]
"If I really had to say there's something I'm not satisfied with…"
Medusa's snake-like, alluring purple eyes glance at Eikou, carrying a hint of grievance.
"If Master could come visit us more often, that would be wonderful."
"Sorry, my schedule has been too packed lately…"
Eikou smiles wryly and raises his hand to scratch his neck. "After some time, I'll definitely make it up to everyone."
"Compared to empty promises, it would be better to pay with action right now."
The cool purple-haired big sister says this as she grabs his hand.
"Since we're already at the Gym, it's even more convenient. I noticed earlier that there's a Yoga area nearby—please, Master, you must help me train!"
"Yo… Yoga?"
Could it be that kind of two-person Yoga, stretching together on a soft Yoga ball, pulling each other's bodies, with intimate physical contact included?
Training Yoga together with such a seductive big sister-type, the stimulation she brings is likely not inferior to Artoria at all.
"Wait, I already agreed to ride the Spinning Bike together with Artoria…"
Eikou hurriedly says.
"It's fine. She can ride her Spinning Bike, and Master can come with me."
Medusa says this very straightforwardly, carrying a naturally innocent feeling.
"Wait, I can't just pretend I didn't hear that."
Artoria immediately steps forward, slightly frowning as she glares at the Rider before her.
"Are you trying to steal my Master?"
[In the vast Gym, a tense atmosphere on the verge of exploding spreads everywhere…]
